Senioritis. Will we ever find a cure? Or will we forever be hopeless and have to “just keep swimming?”
Have any of you ever wondered if you could break away from the awfulness of Senioritis? (Well, I mean, not all of it is awful, the naps aren’t bad.” If you have ever considered finding a “cure” for Senioritis, I may just have what you’re looking for: solutions to lessen your difficulties and one final cure.
Solution 1:
Treat yourself, really, consider it.
Yes, you read that right. Whether it’s something stupid like buying yourself an ice cream cone or purchasing the shoes you’ve been eying of for a month or so. DO IT. TREAT YO’SELF. No shame. You deserve it.
Solution 2:
Start a Countdown.
Here at Clayton, as of today, Thursday, December 5th, we are down to 163 days. (163 days too many).
Begin a “Senior Countdown”. Whether you include all days or just school days, have fun with it! It doesn’t have to be the fanciest thing ever, just something to keep you motivated, maybe if that is still even possible. Add some fun colors, cool fonts, anything you’d like! You could always just download an app and input your graduation date. That way you always have it on you, just a few clicks and you know the countdown!
Solution 3:
Now, I know this one is connected with the first solution, (kinda), but it’s still applicable!
Take a day for yourself or spend it with friends.
Seriously, take a random day and make it fun. Whether you go to the mall, the movies, the arcade, an amusement park, or even just out to eat at a restaurant, one you typically don’t go to. This is to ease your mind and clear it out a little bit. It is mean to change up your scenery. I mean, who isn’t sick of seeing bring walls and tiled floors?!?
Solution 4:
Celebrate the small victories!
Whether it be getting a scholarship you applied for, finishing that LAST assignment you needed to get in, or finishing your finals, YOU NEED TO CELEBRATE. All of this means you are just one step closer to receiving your diploma!!
The CURE:
Last and most important. GRADUATION
The receiving of your diploma may be the one and only true cure to Senioritis.
The "Senior Slide" 
Honestly, senioritis can be controlled or lessened, but I’m fairly certain that graduation is the only cure! Especially considering that I’ve been counting down the days since seventh grade…

I love this blog. I have had senioritis since the beginning of the year and let me tell you, it is absolutely affecting school! 🙂 Graduation is the final cure! We can make it the next 100 plus days!

I enjoy this blog because it’s so relatable. Taking naps in the library is my favorite thing to do (you’ve seen this for yourself). We all know how stressful senior year is, and I think that treating yourself is a good way to handle stress. Great post!
